Howard Schultz, who briefly ran for president in 2019 as an independent, provides the best model for Yang: he made his fortune running Starbucks and portrayed himself as a CEO focused on social change.He was appointed as an honorary "Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship" by President Obama in 2015, but has no history of electoral campaigns nor high-level government appointments. Andrew Yang made his fortune at several startup companies, the most important of which were Manhattan Prep, a GMAT standardized test prep service, and Venture for America, which provided capital for non-profit start-ups.The 2020 campaign cycle features six candidates whose major credential is that they served as corporate CEOs: Every president elected before Trump was either an elected official, or a high-level government appointee. The 2020 election marks a turning point in American politics because business success is now considered a sufficient credential to run for president, due to Donald Trump's 2016 victory based on that credential alone.

Yang's credential to run for the presidency is that he's a self-made millionaire who made his fortune by doing good. This is Andrew Yang's campaign book, published in April 2019, just around the time that his polling numbers qualified him for the early Democratic primary debates.
